SMART Board Goodies A Resource Blog by Amber Coggin 

Good morning! Hope your weekend was fabulous! One of my favorite sites, MightyBook.com, is offering an eBook and a matching game for President’s Day. Check it out!

Happy Friday! I want to share another site with you in honor of President’s Day. Discover George Washington provides an interactive timeline of George Washington’s life. The timeline includes videos, images, and even battle maps! You can narrow down the timeline events by choosing a category from the drop down menu (e.g. family life, slave owner). This is a really cool way to learn about George Washington! Enjoy!

Just in time for President’s Day, too!
